在20世纪80年代，心理学对基因研究的反感转变为接受。现在很少有证据表明遗传对人格、精神病理学和认知能力有影响，这三个领域的研究最为彻底。家庭、双胞胎和收养研究的结果一致认为，这些领域显示出显著和实质性的遗传影响。“个体之间的遗传差异通常占这些领域内观察到的维度和疾病差异的一半。很难找到可靠地显示没有遗传影响的心理特征。询问遗传差异是否有助于观察到的个体间特定行为的差异，是理解个体差异起源的合理的第一步。这个基本的先天-后天问题在心理学的一些主要领域，如感知、学习、语言、
During the 1980s, the tide of antipathy in psychology toward genetic research changed to acceptance. Rarely now does it raise blood pressures to report evidence for genetic influence on personality, psychopathology, and cognitive abilities, the three domains that have been investigated most thoroughly, Results of family, twin, and adoption studies converge on the conclusion that these domains show significant and substantial genetic influence." Genetic differences among individ-uals often account for as much as half of the observed differences for dimensions and disorders within these domains. It is difficult to find psychological traits that reliably show no genetic influence. Asking whether genetic differ-ences contribute to observed differ-ences among individuals for a par-ticular behavior is a reasonable first step toward understanding the origins of individual differences. This basic nature-nurture question has scarcely been broached for some major domains of psychology, such as perception, learning, language,
